GM Korea Co., the local unit of U.S.carmaker General Motors Co., said Tuesday that its sales in November dropped 2.2 percent from a year earlier due to weak domestic sales.

The carmaker sold 51,052 units last month, down from the previous year's 52,218 units, the company said in a press release.

Its domestic sales shrank 7.3 percent on-year to 11,446 units, while overseas shipments also edged down 0.7 percent to 39,606 units.

GM Korea's cumulative sales during the January-November period totaled 560,534 units, down 2.3 percent from the same period a year earlier. (Yonhap)
